“A growing body of carefully conducted research is building a compelling case for T’ai Chi as an adjunct to standard medical treatment for the prevention and rehabilitation of many conditions.”

Taiji’s low-impact, gentle movements mean that you don’t have to be in top health to get started.
Taiji has been shown to improve balance, flexibility, muscle strength, bone density, and sleep quality. There are also many documented cases in which Taiji has helped people with chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, joint pain, kidney issues, metabolic disorders, and Parkinson’s disease.
In stressful times, our minds become habituated to reacting anxiously. It becomes harder to relax and feel confident. Practicing Taiji encourages your mind to settle as it feels the grounding effect of reconnecting to feet, hips, shoulders, and the rest of your body. Patterns of stressful thinking melt away. You may find that you move through your day differently.
